GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs Radeon RX 5500 XT comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 5500 XT in gaming.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti and the Radeon RX 5500 XT have the same base clock speed. Despite this, the Radeon RX 5500 XT has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 8 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 5500 XT has a slightly lower TDP at 130 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti at 180 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is better than the Radeon RX 5500 XT.
